 Introduced by M. of A. WEPRIN -- read once and referred to the Committee

 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to bulletproof
 glass on police vehicles

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 375 of the vehicle and traffic law is amended by
 2 adding a new subdivision 58 to read as follows:
 3 58. a. On and after January first, two thousand twenty-seven, any
 4 police vehicle purchased by the state, a public authority, or any muni-
 5 cipality shall be equipped with bulletproof or bullet resistant glass.
 6 b. The superintendent or chief of police, or other person responsible
 7 for the supervision and maintenance of a fleet of police vehicles, shall
 8 cause any police vehicle that is in use as of the effective date of this
 9 subdivision to be retrofitted with bulletproof or bullet resistant
 10 glass. Such person may cause such glass replacement to be performed on a
 11 staggered basis so that all police vehicles are not out of service at
 12 the same time.
 13 c. The commissioner of the division of criminal justice services, in
 14 consultation with the commissioner of motor vehicles, shall promulgate
 15 rules and regulations determining the specifications that must be met to
 16 consider any glass as "bulletproof" or "bullet resistant".
 17 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
